Six X-Clones and Two S-Clones
(Eingestellt am 12. November 2020, 00:00 Uhr von SudokuExplorer)
An exact clone is a translation of a shape, with the digits in the same order (no reflections or rotations, and no permutation of the digits).
Place 5 more exact clones of the red X-pentomino in the grid.
Place 1 more exact clone of the yellow S-tetromino in the grid.
You can try this on Penpa+ or F-Puzzles. Enjoy!
Lösungscode: Enter the first row, followed by the last column.

Easy to solve but with the given pattern, it was not much logical that was needed, so in my oppinion a fun 20 minutes but nothing more

Fun sudoku. However, it did feel that the number of different clones that needed to be placed gave it away. I really enjoyed it though.

Thanks for your informative feedback. :-)
All hidden clone puzzles that I've seen provide the number of hidden clones that need to be placed, so what kind of ruleset are you suggesting for a future puzzle?

Not a bad puzzle, but the clones and sudoku didn't interact very much -- it was pretty obvious when to look at each, so they felt sequential instead of interwoven.

Thanks for your feedback. That is exactly the reason why this is 1 star for difficulty (very easy).

It surprised me too during the setting process. I was expecting that I would need to add another given, but I didn't need to. I'm glad you liked it :-)
